Book Overview

by Alexandre Dumas (Author), Lawrence Ellsworth (Translator)

The final adventure of the greatest heroes in French literature takes the musketeers on an epic saga from the royal palace of Louis XIV to the dreaded dungeons of the Bastille.

D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis: you know their names, the four loyal comrades whose saga began in Alexandre Dumas' celebrated novel The Three Musketeers and concludes here in the thrilling The Man in the Iron Mask. The musketeers are drawn back to the glittering court of Louis XIV, the Sun King, where intrigues, political rivalries, and royal jealousy pose deadly threats to the heroes and their loved ones. And once more, the four swashbucklers are enmeshed in a conspiracy that threatens the Crown of France itself.

Faced with treachery at every turn, the four musketeers must regain the dash and daring of their youth to prevail in their greatest adventure yet. Fortunately, the comrades are still true to their natures: the noble Athos and his son, the romantic Raoul; the laughing giant Porthos, as mighty as ever; and the bold and steely d'Artagnan, now Captain of the King's Musketeers at last. But then, the sly and wily Aramis stumbles on a royal secret that can shake the realm itself--and exploiting that great secret proves too much of a temptation to resist for a man as ambitious as Aramis!

From midnight abductions through secret passages to swordplay and sacrifice on the wild shores of Brittany, this sparkling new translation of the final adventure of the greatest heroes in swashbuckling literature presents readers with an unforgettable tale from the pen of Alexandre Dumas, the master of historical adventure.
